Application strategy when no method is required

GD&TĐ - In 2025, candidates do not need to consider choosing the appropriate admission method but can register for multiple methods at the same time.

Do not use previous years' benchmarks as a basis.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Hong Hai, Vice Principal of the University of Science and Technology, Danang University, some universities this year use many combinations for admission, including very new combinations. "In this case, for combinations with a common subject of Math, candidates need to consider and carefully analyze the score distribution of the remaining subjects such as Economics, Law, Technology - Industry, because the average score of these subjects is quite high. Meanwhile, the combination of Math - Physics - English or Math - Physics - Chemistry has a lower score level," Mr. Hai noted.

According to the university and college admission regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training , candidates do not need to care about which admission method to prioritize but can make the most of the admission methods they have. All methods are implemented by the admission system once. Higher education institutions will convert to a common scale.

Therefore, Mr. Hai advised candidates to only choose which major and which school. That is, candidates do not need to care about choosing a specific admission method of the school like previous years, but only need to check how many methods they can use to meet the requirements.

The Vice Principal of the University of Science and Technology, University of Danang, gave an example: For example, major B of school A has 3 admission methods while candidates have 4 methods to meet such as academic transcript scores, competency assessment test scores, thinking assessment and high school graduation exam results. Candidates have the right to register for all 4 methods for admission. The higher converted score of the method will be selected for admission. This is a technical step of each school.

Thus, according to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Hong Hai, candidates only need to consider arranging the order of priority wishes, choosing a major, and choosing a school.

Da Nang candidates take the high school graduation exam in 2025.

Meanwhile, Associate Professor Dr. Doan Ngoc Phi Anh, Vice Principal of the University of Economics, University of Danang, said that parents and candidates should not refer to the benchmark scores of previous years.

This year, according to the admission regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, the university does not organize early admissions. All admission methods are considered in the same round and apply the conversion scale, instead of dividing the quota for each admission method as before. Therefore, it is difficult to compare with the admission standard scores of each method as before.

Prioritize your first choice for your favorite major

Associate Professor, Dr. Doan Ngoc Phi Anh advises candidates to consider which school they meet the admission quality threshold to register their admission wishes. The first wish is the major they like the most and then arrange the order for the next wishes.

Candidates and parents often have the mentality of judging their exam results to be suitable for a major before choosing to register to ensure safety. However, this can lead to mistakes in choosing. Because who knows, the major that the candidate likes is not ranked first in priority. In this case, if the candidate is eligible to be admitted to the first choice but is not the major he or she loves, there is no chance to be considered for the next choices.

Therefore, candidates need to remember the simple principle that their favorite wishes, suitable for their economic conditions and abilities, are ranked first.

MSc. Dam Minh Anh, Deputy Head of Training Department, University of Education, University of Danang, reminded candidates about the new points of this year's University Admission Regulations. Accordingly, the Regulations stipulate that the threshold scores must be converted to ensure input quality and admission scores between admission methods.

Therefore, candidates only register for admission on the system of the Ministry of Education and Training, in which there are 2 main information: One is to choose a university, two is to choose a major without having to choose an admission method or combination. The software will base on the order of wishes and the highest results of the candidates in the combinations and methods to consider admission.

According to the Deputy Head of Training Department of the University of Education, Danang University, parents and candidates can refer to the admission scores of previous years to arrange and add more wishes, ensuring admission consistent with their results. However, the information is for reference only, high scores last year may not be high this year or vice versa.

The increase or decrease in the benchmark depends on a number of factors: the average exam score in 2025, the "hotness" of the industry and school, and most importantly, the number of admission quotas this year compared to previous years.

"The most basic principle of university admission that has not changed over the years is to prioritize the order of wishes, which means: Candidates should put their favorite and desired major in the highest wish (first wish) and gradually reduce the priority level. They should register from 5 to 7 wishes to ensure they can be admitted. From a career perspective, candidates should register for their favorite major at many different universities to ensure they study the right major," noted MSc. Dam Minh Anh, Deputy Head of Training Department, University of Education, University of Danang.
